The summer time can be so rough, not only keeping the kids busy and happy, but making sure they don't lose everything that they learned in school the year before. No one wants to sit down and do formal schooling so we try to think of fun ways to learn. Recently I was given the chance to review a great science toy from SmartLab Toys. The Extreme Secret Formula Lab has brought us no only hours of fun over the last week but encouraged my children to use their minds.
With fun experiments like glowing slime and rock candy, I was able to reach out to every little scientist in my family. The directions are super easy to read which was great because my 9 and 7 year old got to take turns reading. Not even knowing that it was good for them. We used basic household items(plus the included glow in the dark powder) to create glow in the dark slime first! After fighting about who was going to put in what no one wanted to be the first to touch it.lol
Everyone ready to do their part! |
Pouring in the first ingredient! |
They all decided since he got to mix it he had to touch if first.lol |
We have our rock candy making and plan on making a new experiment today! With over 20 different things to try we will have a summers full of fun, but today it is glow in the dark alien blood hehe. What a fun opportunity this has been. I can't wait to check out some more of their products. My oldest has already requested a few for his birthday.
